The List..Angry Parent Style
Here is my top ten most irritating things about having kids in school and sports.
10. Your child will
NOT EVER PLAY PRO SPORTS
so calm down...he/she is only 8.
9. Scholastic book orders. Twice a year sure...every other day not ok. Yes I want my kids to read..but I can get all the books I need for FREE at the library. Do you know how many trees you killing with all those dang flyers.
8. Speaking of killing trees...
Every single day all four of my children bring home soooooo many papers. Do they learn anything anymore that is NOT on a worksheet??
7. More dead trees..
Yearbooks for elementary school..WHAT??? So I need to kick down 15 bucks per child for them to have a yearbook for 3rd grade?? Add that up for every year of school..thats like 5 billion dollars in yearbooks.
6. We had 8th grade graduation..then 12th grade graduation..
Now..Pre-school, Kindergarten, 5/6th grade, 8th grade and finally 12th..but of course by then who cares.
5. FUNDRAISING!! I'm tired of WHORING out my adorable children to raise money. No my parents don't want popcorn, or magazines or kitten sweaters.
4. Sports FUNDRAISING!! I paid ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY DOLLARS for my daughter to play on your team..you want me to fund raise on top of that? But how will I ever have enough time when we are at practice 7 days a week for the 8 year old softball team.
3. Where did all the art and music classes go??
Now I have to have my kid to school at 6 am if they want to be in band.
Oh yeah you think your kid is going to go pro..
2. Why do you let your 10 year daughter dress that way?
She has a bright future ahead of her..as a stripper.
1. RESPECT or rather the lack of it.
That sure is going to work out when you grow up and have to get a job.
Thanks I feel much better now.

Just wait, sis will want to dress that way too (I know you wont let her) Public school is always the best place to find the latest Fredricks of Hollywood look for little girls...
Fundraising...We have always boycotted it, except for box tops..I pay enough fricken taxes.
You nailed it on each and every point! I am a fan now!
Love your photography. I imagine you have some super high end SLR?
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only parent around that feels this way!!!
No my camera is not a super high end SLR just a medium end SLR you can find one on craigslist for around 300:)
